The governor of Wisconsin has deemed this week, October 16 through October 22, Teen Driving Safety Week in order to urge teens to drive more safely in order to prevent injuries and deaths from traffic accidents.

Teen drivers are killed in traffic accidents four times more than adult drivers are, according to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. Also, traffic accidents kill more teens across the nation then any other cause of death.

Last year, 57 teens were killed and 6,189 more were injured as a result of traffic crashes in Wisconsin. Officials have said that teens are more susceptible to accidents because they are known to drive more aggressively, text while driving, and fail to wear a seat belt.

If you or a loved one has been injured as a result of a traffic accident, you need experienced representation on your side that may be able to help you receive the compensation that you deserve.
